COBURN.

Court week and "a number of Penns Val
ley folks in attendance thereat. A number
of our citizens took sudden notion TO 90
hunting this week as game has been repor-
ted very plenty.
Perry Slower had the misfortune to have
his horse run ont of the shafts, throw him
down and tramp on his breast, injuring
him so that he has been confined TO his bed
Frank Higgins, of Poe Mills, had his
arm broken on Sunday last by falling over
stick. Dr. Frank was called in TO set the
arm.
The work on the new church has been
stopped for over week on account of the
truss bolts no being here. We learn they
were shipped from Pittsburgh on Saturday
last and as soon rs they reach here work
will begin and the roof will be put on.
Then it will be left for completion next
summer. The slate for the roof are on the
ground.
The lecture in Millheim on Saturday eve
ming promises 10 he success land it should
be as all who attend will get the worth of
their money, besides helping along
good and grand work. So we would urge
our Coburn people TO turn out and assist in
this work and hear something that will
benefit all.
The Sunday school here will have a
Christmas entertainment for the benefit of
the children.
Mrs. John Weibly is away visiting for a
week and that accounts for John being SO
downhearted
Bob vonada seems TO be glad that he is
postmaster this week as he thinks an EN-
pioyee OF Uncle Sam cannot he taken TO
Bellefonte on short notice.
Two engines attached TO the freight on
Monday is n good sign that the business of
the road is picking up considerably.
We noticed several communications late
ly in regard to the Turnpike Co. There is
a little pike running from Coburn TO Mill
helm that needs some looking after and
should certainly be put on the township
The township roads here are none of the
best but along side Of this pike they are ex-
cellent. There seems to be no effort
made to keep the road In even ordinary re-
pair All the company seems TO care for is
TO make all out of the road they possibly
can and if any damage is done Mt the many
dangerous places, where it is not safe for two
rigs to pass, they do not care. The amount
of toll that il being paid by all who use the
pike frequently, would amount to n trifie II
ii was owned by the township, where 1t
now amounts to big thing in year for the
privilege of running the risk of n broken or
limb and smashed up rig. The cost of the
road to the township would not be large as
we understand the bridge Mt Coburn was
paid for by the township and then given to
the Pike Co. All who are interested in this
matter should take hold of it and help to
boom it along and endeavor to have the
charter annulled and the road thrown open
to the people for free travel. VALE.

Poor Tom and his barrel of winter cider !!
Tom had fixed the cider TO suit himself and
had given it double portion Of rye, which
made fellow hollo for .(oder und muder.
Tom had consequently great deal of work
In the cellar OF late, but Mrs. soon got tired
of that kind of work. When Tom was gone
she went down and gave the barrel turn,
which so frightened the cider that it rnn
out and all over the cellar. And now poor
Tom III brOken-h earted, for he can never
coax that cider back into the barrel again.

FROM SALT LAKE.
The Proposed Railroad ana the
Route il will Sake.

'
Messrs. II. r. Houghton and Isaac
Trumbo, prominent promoters OF the
scheme to connect Los Angeles and
Salt Lake City with direct line, will
in a short time visit this city to confer
with the other gentlemen interested,
as to the best time and b-s method
of commencing the road. Since theii
last visit these gentlemen have visited
leading Eastern capitalists and inter.
ested them in the matter, and
everything is now in a
shape to begin operations at once.
For this reason, the gentlemen, as
stated, are soon to be in Los Angeles,
where they will conclude all neces-
sary arrangements and start with an
engineer to search tine Sierra Madre
mountains for an easily accessible
pass in this vicinity.
Much curiosity Las been aroused a,
to who who were the originators OF
this scheme, and many doubts have
been expressed as to its responsibility.
1t orig ginated from the efforts
of several prominent gentlemen Of
Salt Lake City, who desired to secure
"a road from that point to the sea-
coast that would give them such rates
for their chief productions as would
assure the producers reasonable
profit upon their articles of commerce.
The road will run through San Ber-
narJino to Pasadena, where it will
connect and absorb the road now
being surveyed from Wilmington to
this city and from here to Pasadena.

RajlrOad at Ana Ii ei m

Work actually was begun on the
new branch OF the California Central
Railroad at Anaheim yesterday. AS
has been stated heretofore, this branch
connects with the San Bernardino and
San Diego line about half way between
Orange and St. James, and runs
thence across the Santa Ana river to
the south limits OF Anaheim. 1t
passes through this towIi from north
to south along the line Of Orange
street, which crosses the town nearly
in the center; thence it passes
through Fullerton, new town at
North Anaheim, thence to Santa Fe
Springs, formerly Fulton Wells. Be-
tween the last two points
the line runs Immediately by the old
Coyote House and along the mesa un-
til it reaches the springs. 1t then
passes in north of the General Sanford
ranch, crosses the two branches OF the
San Gabriel river north OF the Sanford
bridge. and the wagon road to Los
Angeles. and after crossing the
Old rieer it heads right through
the Laguna ranrh to the Los
Angeles river near the south limits OF
this city.
There is to be no depot at the juno
tion near Or ,nge. Trains from Col
ton for Los Angeles will simply
branch off the 9, and those for San
Diego will do the same. If local
train is run at any time, that is to be
made up at Santa Ana. The reason
for this was to give Orange all the
facilities of the road.

A NEW ROUTE.
The Track Through Cfenega
Canyon to be Aban d0ned


Canyon to be Abandoned
At recent meeting OF the Directors
of the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany it was definitely decided to re-
move the road entirely from the
Cienega Canon, and accordingly a
new route for the road has been sur
veyed and is now awaiting the ap-
proval of the management. 1t is
almost certain that the route az given
below will be that for the road be-
tween Papago, at the west end of the
caflon on the south side, and Mescal
at the east end of the caiion, on the
north side.
The road as at present situated has
suffered so severely from the floods
and cost SO much to keep in repair
that the directors have become dis
gusted, and determined that no mat.
ter what the cost of construction at
first, it will be cheaper in the long run
to change the route.
The present road crossed the Ciene-
Ga river, which flows through the
caflon, five times in the distance OF
four miles, and was always liable to
be destroyed by the immense
bodies of water which were forced
through the canon at a speed
which swept everything in the way,
out of sight. The new line will not
be in the caiion at all, but will he
placed upon the bluffs and Will only
